1. To be overlooked despite outstanding performance due to being overshadowed by teammates thanks to the ignorance of the media, such what frequently happens to San Francisco Giants pitcher Matt Cain after pitching a good game.

2. Alternatively, it can refer to having one's good work spoiled by teammates' incompetence, such as when Matt Cain gives up only two runs but nonetheless loses due to a lack of run support.

Example 1: I discovered a cure for cancer, but my boss took all the credit. I got Cained.

Example 2: I spent months setting up the experiments, but my labmate Cained me by accidentally deleting all the data.

When someone makes a rhetorical and redundant statement about a situation to seem humorous and intelligent. Instead of coming off as such, it usually reduces the intellect of the person making the statement. This is often, and efficiently done by the semi-retarded and socially inept character Horatio Caine on CSI Miami. The usual result is that the person hearing this will roll their eyes, sigh, and change the channel. Also referred to as Tautology.
